Hoping For a BFP in April

[FreckledMouse]

Making a new thread from the March group ♥️

I'm on CD 1, Cycle 11 of TTC our first 👶🏼
Had a MC in February
Ectopic last July with right tube removal
I have endometriosis (and I suspect low progesterone)

Trying to stay positive and think fresh cycle, my body probably needed this after the MC and its a fresh start ✨

Baby dust ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

@Hopefulprincess, that's odd?! What did it look like once it had dried? I cant make it out but is there a hint of a positive? Fingers crossed!! xxx

I keep trying to post with a pic, apparently unsuccessfully, so sorry if there are lots of posts for same thing for me...

I am trying to work out if I am ovulating or not, first time using OPK and I'm not sure. Got a relatively darkish line, my period tracker app shows tomorrow as a guess. I'll try upload again, but if someone can let me know an opinion of if I am or close or what, I'd be grateful 😅

Think I have now attached a pic?

I would keep testing, looks like it's getting there! .. how many times a day are you testing? I'd up it of only testing once a day to try and catch that surge. Good luck! xxx

Thanks @graceybaby, I've just been doing once every other day so far

@Beeyellowmumma yes I would definitely up it if you can especially if tomorrow is your predicted day, test again this afternoon/evening and see if it's any darker! Fingers crossed xx

Hi ladies I have literally just come from the March thread, hoping it’s ok to join you all here, I used to be active on the TTC threads last year, had a little break as I think we all know TTC can be tough on the mind sometimes!! Feel ready to get back into sharing and reading all the stories here!! I’m currently cycle day 21, my cycles are usually 31days, TTC #1, (cycle number - god knows, a lot!!) I’m 40 years old this year, so need a good group to keep me motivated!! Good luck for all the BFPs this month xx

@Willow1982 Hi! Glad you decided to return! It really is mentally consuming, I've literally just started TTC no.2 and had forgotten how stressful it was! I convinced myself I'd be different this time around and take a more relaxed approached but nope! Im just as crazy of not more so this time 🤣🤣 Happy to keep you company on this crazy journey Xxx

High OPKs today - looking like Peak is coming tomorrow ! 🤞🏼🎊

Hi all. Thought I would join this thread. TTC number two. I seem to get pregnant easily but struggle to get them to "stick" with my first had two v early MC (chemical pregnancies) before successfully having my son. Now with number two got immediately pregnant and had a mc at 7 weeks. That was only two weeks ago but looks like I may be ovulating (cm) so trying again straight away.

Hi All,
I hope you don’t mind me jumping on here. I’ve been following these forums for a while but never had the courage to post 😳 but I think I have all the abbreviations…we’ll see 😊
I’m 33 and was on the pill since 16 so before I even had regular periods. I came off in October to just prepare my body and see what happened. I think I’ve been lucky in that my periods have been around 29-31 days pretty much straight away. Having a little bit of acupuncture to help and the last one was bang on 28 days - 5th March.
We have decided to start trying and dtd this cycle every other day since af left. So now I am day 17.
However over the last couple of weeks I have done ovulation tests every other day and having nothing at all. They were from boots and I’m assuming pretty reliable. Should I be worried? I know it might not have happened yet but with my cycle now so regular I thought it would have. We will keep going every other day for a bit and I guess I’ll test for pregnancy on April 2nd 🤞
Sorry for the long post but I wondered if anyone else has experienced no ovulation on a stick but getting pregnant or just ovulated really late in a cycle but still being around 28/30 days?

@Hopefulprincess I’ve never experience anything exactly like that, but I have been told by the doctors that if your periods are less than 35 days and regular then you probably are ovulating. So maybe you are and the LH surge is just being missed on the sticks?

I'm joining from March thread, AF started today, well will properly be here in the morning so will class that as day 1z This month will be #2 ttc. Will probably start using the Clearblue Advanced ovulation tests around 4th April, I have 5 strips left from last month will they won't in the machine that gave me a static smile face? Fingers crossed for this month everyone 😁🤞🏼 x

I think it didn’t count as it ran , I did another and neg just did this one and clear positive but frer was negative same wee 🤷‍♀️🤣 oh this is actually driving me crazy now haha swore I wouldn’t be a poas addict but here I am 🤷‍♀️ That’s 4 positives 5 negatives what’s going on haha

Good luck!

I had blazing opks last Friday I ovulated the next day right ovary negative opks from then on just keep getting + then - preggo tests I don’t get it . Having lost 8 it’s making me nervous (these were dotted about over the years) I lost 4 in a row including my daughter whom was cremated august 2019 then 2020 my son was born I havnt been pregnant since but I need to start cyclogest as soon as I know I am so this uncertainty isn’t great!

Good luck for your next cycle 💜

Baby number one, 2nd cycle that should have read as !

@Willow1982 hi, I'm also 40 this year. Ttc#2, we tried for 2 years for DS. Fingers crossed we both get some luck soon!!!

@Hopeful2654 I am also CD 17 and will be testing on the 2nd. AF is due on the first for me, but I usually try to wait till the day after to test.

We have done our usual method. So days 6, 10, 12 and 14. Also did day 16 but just for fun. I went for acupuncture today and was so relaxing. Was told that my body is ready to conceive and healthy so fingers crossed 🤞

Had acupuncture the same CD the month we conceived DS!!! Who knows?!

@Purple29
Fingers crossed it both happens for us. Did you test for ovulation at all? As I haven’t had the peak yet going to keep dtd every other day for a bit longer

@Hopeful2654 I don't do ov tests. When I conceived my son my Dr told me to stop. I had a regular 28 day cycle(now 27 days), and my blood tests confirmed I was ovulating. So he said to just go with it was happening 14 days before AF!! I found the sticks just stressed and confused me.

@Leanne053 the CB test strips you have will work in the reader you have already used. When you first put a test strip in it flashes every symbol because it the first time using it in that cycle, then you just carry on as normal 😊

@Hopefulprincess I've had issues with these tests before. I got a positive and was soooo happy then did another from a different pack and it was negative. From the positive pack I did another test which was positive so dipped one in water and that was also positive 😂🤔 so that was disappointing!

That's great thank you

Jumping on if you ladies don't mind.

I'm currently TTC number 2. We fell pregnant after 5 months this time but I sadly had a MMC in Jan. Really hoping we get pregnant again soon. AF has just appeared so I'm CD1 and willing this to be our month!
